Getting off the Cruise and making it to the airport

[cbskschu]

Our cruise is scheduled to be ashore at 7:30 am. Does anyone know if you have to leave the ship at that time or can you stay on the ship for a while?

Will we have enough time to make it to the airport in Orlando to make an 11:30am flight back home? If not the next flight won't be until 7:30 that night and it seems like a long time to wait with two young kids.

Please let me know soon we leave in three weeks an want to get our return flight taken care of.

Everyone has to be off the ship by 9am. It seems like we had a 1:00 flight and were at the airport at 11. You might want to call a CM and find out if any buses make an early trip. You have to go down in the hold and get your bags. Maybe you can eat quick at topsiders instead of going to the assigned breakfast.

We didn't have any trouble - we skipped breakfast, was one of the first ones off the ship and our towncar driver picked us up at 8:00 am. We were at the airport by 9:00-9:30 (can't really remember)! But it's a gamble - from what I hear, sometimes there is a delay clearing customs and you could run into bad traffic or delays getting through security at the airport. For us, it was worth the risk!
